Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 65 - 60: Back to the Adventurer Guild Part 1

After killing the Queen Ant, the two sat on the ground catching their breath because of the exhaustion.

Alex observed Gracier before announcing ʼʼLet rest for few minutes.ʼʼ

Gracier only nodded her head because she couldnʼt even open her mouth at the moment, this show how tired she was.

Half of an hour later Alex stood up and checked their surrounding before observing the Queen Antʼs corpse.

Truth be told, Its body length was much longer than the Soldier Ants, about 5m in length. It had an enlarged abdomen and a sharp spike grew from it like a stinger.

ʼItʼs pretty big. I was shocked for a moment by its sheer size.ʼ Alex mumbled.

From the information Alex heard, the Soldier Ants were about 1m long. Because of that, even if it was larger, he had expected the Queen Ant to be about 3m in length at best, even the Imperial Ant length is 2 meters.

However, after coming in contact with the actual Queen Ant, its size was greatly larger than Alexʼs expectations.

Approaching the monsterʼs corpses, Alex stored them away before turning his face to face Gracier, the latter had recovered by now. The two have killed 54 monsters today, (42 Soldier Ants, 11 Imperial Ants, and 1 Queen Ant.). It was time now to go back.

ʼʼLetʼs go Little sister.ʼʼ

ʼʼOkay,ʼʼ

Gracier stood up and left with Alex. They were going back to the Adventurer Guild.

....

Meanwhile, at the Adventurer Guild, the receptionist Karen was playing with her hair, she seemed lost in thought.

ʼʼHah!!”

She involuntarily spat out a sigh. Fortunately, as there was only a little while before the noon bell rings, there were few adventurers inside the guild. There were only several people eating an early lunch.

ʼʼWhatʼs wrong, sighing like that?ʼʼ

ʼʼOr are you perhaps thinking about your lover?”

The co-worker next to Karen asked curiously. It was Nyora, a cat beast person, she had short black hair, cat ears, and tail, naturally like every other receptionist present here she was really beautiful. Nyora stretched herself, showing of the flexible limbs that were a feature of the cat family.

Karen glared at Nyora, the latter smiled before correcting herself.

ʼʼJoke aside. Tell me what is bothering our dear Karen.ʼʼ

ʼʼNothing, Iʼm just thinking about the newcomer. He is-”

ʼʼYou are talking about ʼThe Rookieʼ?”

Nyora cut Karen off and asked. The latter nodded her head in confirmation.

ʼʼWhat did he do?”

Hearing Nyoraʼs words Karen shook her head before explaining.

ʼʼHe didnʼt do anything. It just how fast he was rising. He just registered two weeks ago and now heʼs going to get promoted to D Rank. Heʼs talented, so talented that itʼs odd he is here. Normally, someone, this talented should be in the capital not here. I wonder why he came here.

He must be a young Master from a powerful family, yet heʼs here in this city, this City is not important. There must be a reason he came here. I donʼt know why but sometimes I have the feeling he is out of this world.ʼʼ

Nyora contemplating and concluded that Karenʼs analysis wasnʼt wrong. She had seen her fair share of Adventurers since she started working here but this was the first time she had seen someone rise in Rank so quickly.

The guy killed thirty goblins and a rare species goblin by himself, something a D Rank Adventurer could do, and today morning he bested four Adventurers (A E Rank Adventurer Guild.) He must be gifted that is the only explanation plausible.

ʼʼHe must be Gifted,ʼʼ Nyora stated.

ʼʼI know but what kind of Gift did he possess? Nobody knows, not even the Guild Master. He asked me what weapon Alex used on his first day of training. I said knives. We all know that his knives are normal, not Gift. A lot of people were expecting him to use his Gift today unfortunately he didnʼt.ʼʼ Karen explained.

ʼʼI see. Not even Big sister Leena know something about it? She is interested in him, they are close after all. The girl Alex brought even became Big sister Leenaʼs little sister. I was surprised when she takes that oath. She is interested in Alex, sheʼs interested in his potential, you look how she behaves in his presence, like a mother protecting her child.ʼʼ Nyora said.

Karen heaved a sigh before saying ʼʼYou are right. Alex invited her on a date in front of everyone. Heʼs courageous. We are talking about Big sister Leena. Not many dare to ask her out. She had never accepted in the past, yet this time she accepted.

How lucky Alex is.ʼʼ

Nyora smiled before offering her opinion,

ʼʼIndeed you are right. However, I think if he asks her to become his girlfriend, Big sister Leena will refuse.ʼʼ

ʼʼWhy did you say that?” Karen asked.

ʼʼWhy? Normally, Big sister Leena is not interested in him romantically. Alex-”

ʼʼThat not my question, I guess I should reformulate it. Why did you think Alex is interested in Big sister Leena romantically? Why do you think he is in love with her?”

Rolling her eyes as to say isnʼt obvious, Nyora put on a doubtful expression,

ʼʼHe asked her on a date. Isnʼt that Alex guy hitting on Big sister Leena?”

Karen shook her neck slightly at Nyoraʼs words.

However, what Nyora said wasnʼt wrong at all. After all, receptionists were the face of the guild, they are all beautiful and Leena was most beautiful of all.

The receptionists were idolized by the adventurers. An unattainable object, someone they want to be their lover, someone they wanted to spend the night with, they became that kind of existence.

Nyora was trying to say that in that sense, Alex was trying to chase Leena, he even asked her on a date. But with the contact Karen had with Alex, she didnʼt feel that he was trying to woo Leena. He must have done that because of something else they were not aware of.

ʼʼHe isnʼt. They must be another reason for him to ask her out. Sigh! Only the two or the little girl Gracier must know.ʼʼ

ʼʼTalking about the red-haired girl. She is also Gifted. I wonder where Alex fetches her. She even covers one of her eyes. Is that to act cool?” Nyora asked.

Shrugging her shoulders Karen said, ʼʼI dunno. Ask her or else youʼll know.ʼʼ

ʼʼI will. What kind of request did he take today?”

ʼʼSoldier Ant subjugation request. Why did you ask? Wait why are you suddenly interested in him all of sudden?” Karen answered before asking.

ʼʼFufufu! Youʼre curious, isnʼt it? Well, Iʼll tell you. I want to get closer to that kid as itʼs certain heʼs going to rise to the top in the future, I better have a place beside him now before the hyenas will come later, wanting to partake in the feast named Alex.

You are not interested in him, so Iʼm not afraid and even if you were it doesnʼt matter with this mature body of mine he will easily fall for me.ʼʼ

While saying so proudly, Nyora placed her arms her breasts to emphasize them, truth be told she was gifted over there, D cup at least.

To that appearance, Katen wore a thin smile and blood vessels appeared in her forehead threatening to burst out.

ʼʼGood to know. However, you are forgetting something, Alex will not stay here indefinitely, he will leave for the capital. Or are you planning to go there with him? From what I heard, the capital isnʼt a place for someone like you. There are lots of Big fish there, youʼll be discarded in no time considering that you are planning to use your body to entice him.

There are lots of better women over there, youʼll lose before it began.ʼʼ

To Karenʼs words, Nyoraʼs forehead also started twitching.

ʼʼFufufu! I wonder if you want a fight with me, dear Karen?”

ʼʼAre you Nyora? Itʼs wonʼt end well you know.ʼʼ

An explosive tension. Right when those two people were in that state, the sound of the bell informing them that it was noon, could be heard. They stopped bickering with each other.
